This is a popular theory, but not an argument with any evidence for why it's true.
It also doesn't address why people think there is a need for safety regulations, such as the concern of bio-capability uplift from closed and open models (we just came out of a pandemic not long ago), nor the cyber capabilities of new models that just showed bad misalignment and hacked multiple organisations. In the safety community, these are considered warning shots, and if we don't heed them and change practices future failures could be much much worse.
